Do you mean like this? x = 1/3 y = 1 print(x > y) print(y > x)

if this is what you mean, please keep in mind that a computer can’t do fractions. 1/3 is not a proper fraction for a computer only a float to a certain amount of numbers behind the decimal point. so it is not 1/3 but instead 0,3333333333333333333333333333 etc this has implications for your results and also when using round, ceil, floor etc
